Chad Brown Flops a Boat and Loses

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

The action opened with a raise from the cutoff before the big blind moved all in for 2,650. Chad Brown was in the small blind and raised to 5,000 which forced the original raiser to fold.

Brown: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

The flop was {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Brown flopped a boat but was not in the clear because opponent flopped trip kings. The turn was the {q-Spades} and Brown had to avoid a paint card. The river though was the {j-Hearts} which doubled up his opponent and left Brown with just 6,300. To add insult to injury, he won't be able to get his chips back from that player because the table broke immediately following the conclusion of that hand.
